I am mostly focused on pediatric care — from newborns just hours old to school-age kids with fussy eating or slow weight gain. Working in both allopathic and Ayurvedic hospitals gave me a wider view of child health, and tbh that helped me trust Ayurveda even more, cause I could actually see what was missing in fast protocols. I’ve handled newborns on day 1 — birth trauma, meconium delay, low immunity stuff, and early feeding issues. Those first few days are super critical & I really pay attention to what signals the baby’s body is giving.
My main area of interest? Definitely child nutrition. It’s wild how many long-term issues start from poor ahara-samskara or force-fed routines. I try to guide parents gently but firmly — what to feed, when to start, how to read signs of imbalance like sluggish growth, poor appetite, allergies etc. My approach blends classical Ayurvedic concepts (like annaprashan samskara, grahani balance, agni support) with modern growth tracking & food planning that works in real life, not just on paper.
More than anything, I want to help parents feel confident — like they actually understand their kid’s health, not just run around doctor to doctor. That’s where real care starts. |
Achievements: | I am grateful I got selected as Student of the Year during my academic days — honestly wasn’t chasing awards, just tried to stay consistent, show up fully whether it was theory, clinics or even boring seminars lol. That recognition felt like a quiet push, like okay maybe this path *is* right for me. It also made me more serious about staying sharp, digging into clinical details more carefully, and not cutting corners when it comes to patient care or learning something new that might help tomorrow. |
I am currently pursuing my MD in Kaumarbhritya (Ayurvedic Pediatrics) as JR3, after completing BAMS from SCM Govt Ayurvedic Medical College, Satara — and honestly, the deeper I go into this field, the more I realise how nuanced pediatric care really is. It’s not just about giving sweet-tasting medicines and making the kid smile (tho that matters too)... it’s about understanding how their body reacts, grows, and heals so differently than adults. Every stage from newborn to teenage is like a separate chapter with its own doshic quirks and care needs. Over time, I’ve gotten solid clinical exposure — managing day-to-day illnesses like cough, fevers, skin rashess, but also bigger patterns like poor weight gain, digestion issues, behavioral changes that show up with no obvious reason, and sometimes chronic stuff like asthma or childhood eczema. I try to go beyond the surface — look at birth history, ahara-vihara, family environment, how much screen time... yeah even that plays a role now. My strength is sticking to the classical Ayurvedic tools — srotas analysis, prakriti-vikriti check, bal pariksha — while still being open to modern diagnosis when needed. Not everything shows up on nadi, right? Sometimes a blood test or scan clears up doubts. But once diagnosis is clear, I usually prefer simple, child-friendly interventions... herbal formulations, swaras, ghee preps, and basic lifestyle shifts the family can actually manage without going crazy.
